Appearance

Silas lounged on a stool near the bar, a lute held carelessly on his lap and a mug of ale at his elbow. He was lean and slender, possessed of an elvish grace in both his features and movements that tended to attract the notice of the female members of the audience. His rich brown hair was medium length, artistically windblown and glinting with golden highlights, and he wore a roguish chin beard along with three days worth of stubble. Beneath that unruly hair, clear green eyes glinted with wit, energy, and an easy confidence. His long, lean fingers bore many rings, the largest of these a signet ring carved of sardonyx, the face an intricate carving featuring a fox with an armored gauntlet clamped in his jaws.

At his waist he bore a slim rapier of medium length, the ornately worked guard bearing stones of red and black with a grip fashioned of worn camel bone. Over a loose linen shirt he worn an intricately stitched brown leather doublet that matched in color and style his supple boots. The buckles and clasps of his various belts and buttons were all polished and shinging, and while his clothing was clean and well mended it was also far from new. However, he wears everything so well that even these less-than-royal garments seem fashionable and stylish.
